Adantino, Now And Again and Skip Of Colour look to be the principles in this Maiden Stakes, and we will take a chance on Skip Of Colour. The selection hails from the in-form Paul Blocklely yard and he ran well enough for his new trainer when a fair fourth to Dawn Piper at Lingfield last time to suggest that he could be capable of winning races in the future. Adantino ran in snatches last time at Lingfield, and he could be interesting now that he is stepped-up in trip, but he does not look the sort to be placing a great deal of faith in. Now And Again was behind Adantino in that Lingfield race, but he is from a shrewd yard and could be interesting if the market speaks in his favour. The same would apply to the newcomers, Albee, Marino Mou and Classic Lin, but for the winner we are happy to stick with Skip Of Colour.
